Seychelles offers some of the world’s best snorkeling and diving experiences with its diverse marine life, coral reefs, and clear turquoise waters.

4. Plan an Intimate Dinner on an Uninhabited Beach
Seychelles has plenty of undeveloped and secluded beaches where the two of you can have an intimate dinner under the starlit sky. Pack a picnic basket and fill it with your favorite goodies.
5. Book a Luxury Hotel
What’s the best choice of accommodation for your Seychelles honeymoon? A luxurious hotel, of course! Most gorgeous boutique hotels dotting the islands offer first-class service and luxury accommodations. Grab the chance to pamper yourself at their spa treatments while you are there.

Nestled between La Digue and Praslin Islands, Curieuse Island is a protected island that serves as home to giant tortoises and much other wildlife that you can use on a guided tour of this beautiful island. The surrounding waters are also perfect for snorkeling.
7. Go for a Hike or Stroll
There are several long and short walks in Seychelles with several trails that will take you through the coastline with its panoramic views and tropical forests. Popular hikes include the Fond Ferdinand Nature Reserve Walk between La Digue and Praslin islands and Mahé Island’s Morne Seychellois National Park Anse Major Trail.
8. Relax in La Digue Island
The laid-back small island of La Digue will make you feel as if you travel back in time with people using their bicycles as the main means of transport. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture photos of Anse Source d’Argent Beach which has the world’s most beautiful coral reefs and white sand.
9. Discover Cousin Island’s Nature Reserve
A crucial nature reserve and seabird sanctuary, Cousin Island is located west of Praslin Island which you can visit during a day trip from Praslin or Mahé islands. But an overnight stay is the best way to explore the area.
